development smtp server for windows
smtp, testing, windows
Solution
There are a few:
- SMTP Impostor (formerly Antix SMTP Server), NuGet package - looks very good
- Dumbster - fake SMTP server under Apache license
Or you can also set it up in your web.config to just store the e-mails in the file system (the config way of what "silky" has proposed in code):
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory">
<specifiedPickupDirectory
pickupDirectoryLocation="c:\temp\mails\"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

Problem
I am looking for a free test smptp server which can save emails in to files for my development tests. Since my development environment is windows I prefer test email server to run on windows but I can consider to install any other linux based alternatives.
